The 3D printed bumper is fairly easy to make with most common FDM style 3D printers that on the market.

And if you don’t have access a 3D printer, you can order our parts by visiting our Thingiverse page and have a local maker 3D print the parts and ship them to you.

Flexible Filament

TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) filament is a flexible material that's ideal for gaskets, plugs, leveling feet, and mobile device cases!

There's different types of TPU, some which more elasticity than others and others with more grip. 

Bed Adhesion

60C temperatures for heated beds. For non-heated beds, PEI sheet and blue tape works well.

3D Printer & Slice Setting

Follow your printers recommended settings below for a good starting point. 

Print Hotter

TPU extrudes best at 220C-225C temperatures. It has a higher melting point and requires more heat than regular PLA.

Clean up

We used a flush diagonal cutters to clean up support material around the inner edges. 

Make sure the openings for the mute switch and USB-C ports are cleaned before plugging in cable. Use a hobby knife to help cut away stringing that could block the volume switch.
